Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
12 ounces mushrooms sliced
3-4 Garlic Cloves minced
1 ½ cup evaporated milk
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3-4 sprigs fresh thyme or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by melting the butter in a pan over medium heat. Let the butter is sizzle. Add olive oil and let it heat up.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until they’re golden brown and tender. This step allows the mushrooms to release their natural flavors and develop a delicious depth.
Toss in the minced garlic and stir it into the mushrooms. The aromatic combination of garlic and mushrooms will fill your kitchen with an irresistible fragrance, signaling that something truly delectable is in the making.
Pour in the evaporated milk. Stir it gently into the mushroom and garlic mixture, allowing it to mingle with the savory flavors.
Let the mixture come to light bubble on medium heat. Stir well and let it heat up for 3-5 more minutes on low heat, stirring continuously and scraping around the edges. It will thicken, creating that luxurious consistency we all love in a creamy sauce.
Season your sauce with thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences. Serve and Enjoy !

Notes

Store any leftover creamy mushroom sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can typically be kept for 3-4 days. Make sure it cools to room temperature before refrigerating.

Creamy mushroom sauce can be frozen for longer storage. Place it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Leave some space for expansion, as the sauce may expand as it freezes. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheat the sauce gently on the stovetop over low to medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid sticking or burning. Add a splash of broth or cream if needed to adjust the consistency.
